YHA Borrowdale

This is my group of friends and I's favourite hostel in the lake district, very reasonable price and it's in a great location with short drives to lots of the great hikes. Everything runs smoothly, staff are always friendly and ask how our trip is going. Facilities there are great and its never loud at night when we've stayed there.

Has a bar and food, pods and camping aswell as the rooms shared or private. I don't understand why the pods are so expensive but if people are willing to pay it then I don't blame there pricing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Showers, toilets and self catering kitchen for all to use. Games room with pool and football table. All areas are clean and comftable. Only a small area to pitch tents next to the pods, I imagine in spring and summer it's very busy. Great location, perfect base for walking the fells. Prices are high for everything other than tent pitches but like I say if people are willing to spend it then I can't blame em.

Brilliant stay, really friendly staff, warm and cosy bar area, great choice of food and rooms with comfy clean beds. Prices vary but excellent value for money. Location is superb with fabulous views.
